Smells of roasted coffee. Pours a veritable brown-black with medium brown head. Lacing is minimal, but leaves a residue behind tinting the glass amber and reminding you that this is definitely a coffee based beer. Mouthfeel is nice and thick and quite smooth to match. As for the taste, the beer is true to its name as coffee takes precedence and oatmeal resides as a secondary taste in the background. Probably not the best coffee based beer I have ever had (porters tend to make better coffee beers in my opinion), but for an imperial stout, this one is quite flavorful and not so burnt tasting. HIghly recommended.

Poured a dark brown, clear, minimal tan buddbly head. Aroma was roasted coffee and malts, oatmeal, and chocolate. Flavor had all of that with coffee being prominent and some vanilla and a nutty presence. Full body and a nice creamy texture. No alcohol noted, but a slight bitter coffee bite to finish. Superb!

bottle @Dangerous Bottleshares 7.0 thanks to Baron! Pours a pitch black with a tiny, short lasting, brown head. Aroma has dark chocolate, coffee, roasty malts, some oatmeal and vanilla. Taste is more bitter and roasty with both the coffee and the roasty malts, green bell pepper, sweet caramel malts. Full body and medium carbonation.
